Audacy names Cisco Cotto as morning anchor for WCFS-FM and WBBM-AM (WBBM Newsradio) in Chicago, weekdays from 5-10am CT, beginning January 3. He succeeds Pat Cassidy, who recently announced his retirement. Cotto originally joined the station as a street reporter and fill-in anchor, later moving to midday anchoring and host of the WBBM noon business hour. Subsequently taking over that role is Rob Hart, who has been with the station since 2016. He's also regularly anchored weekend mornings and has served as a reporter for the station.

"We are excited to welcome Cisco into morning drive," said Audacy Chicago Regional President and Market Manager Rachel Williamson. "He has proven to be a true professional and teammate for the last seven years both reporting and anchoring on WBBM. Not only does he bring a bright energy, but is a great communicator and strong journalist - the perfect combination as Chicagoans wake up each morning."

"Pat and Felicia spent many years as voices Chicagoans trusted to wake them up with all of the most important stories to start their day," added Cotto. "I'll work hard to maintain what they built. Thanks to Ron Gleason, Greg Solk, and Rachel Williamson for trusting me with such an important show on this great station. I look forward to continuing to be a small part of the award-winning news team on WBBM for many years to come."
